| Reverse description | A full-length portrait of a standing Macaroni Penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus) occupies the central nickel-plated steel field, depicted in right-facing profile with fine feather detail rendered in relief. The legend 'FREDRIKSEN ISLAND' arcs along the upper rim of the centre. The denomination '£1' appears to the left and '15 pesos' to the right of the penguin in the mid-field. The bilingual species names 'Macaroni Penguin' and 'Pingüino Macaroni' are inscribed in two lines below the bird. The outer copper-plated steel ring features a continuous raised bead border. |
